Hi Ingvar,
What is the CPU monitor supposed to do? I can't find a PROCESS method for it. :P :) I'd be happy to try to write such a method if only I could grok what you're thinking here. :)

I think it was supposed to log in and snag the system load. I also thought it was all written. It isn't, though.
Oh, hang on, it's one of those that'll need a multi-stage PROCESS, one that just gets the cpu-monitor object, then another one that also has teh equipment as a class (since getting CPU utilisation is OS specific, IOS, linux and windows do it all differently). Might've been why I didn't write it.
I'll probably be busy with the network code for a bit more and then have a play with a NAGIOS-test framework, so feel free to go ahead.

Er, no, there's a load-monitor class. I am confused now. Maybe it was something intended for (say) routers, switches and windows machines? Because, you know, load and cpu utilisation aren't identical.
Not that I could find a PROCESS method for load-monitors either.

Hi Ingvar,
I was wondering if the CPU monitor might be intended to monitor the number of CPUs on a system. I'm looking at a Ganglia monitoring webpage right now and one of the things they report is the total number of CPUs a given host or group of hosts has.
Could this be what it is for?
If so, anyone know how to get this information from a host that doesn't have something like /proc/cpuinfo ? Specifically, I'm thinking my Mac laptop (which I do some bogus monitoring of for testing/hacking purposes).
Whaddya think?, Jim

I think it might've been one of those things I intened for routers and switches, where you don't get a load, per se, but a "CPU utilisation percentage". Not a problem if it means different things for different equipment, though.
Or, yes, there is, but... Whoever first writes a PROCESS method for it gets to decide, I think.
